c

The commitment of the University to the most fundamental principles of academic freedom, equality of opportunity
and human dignity requires that decisions involving students and employees be based on individual merit and be
free from invidious discrimination in all its forms, whether or not specifically prohibited by law. Among the forms
of invidious discrimination prohibited by University policy but not law is sexual orientation. Complaints of invidious
discrimination which is not also proscribed by law shall be resolved exclusively within existing University procedures.

The University of Illinois policy is to be in full compliance with all Federal and State Non-Discrimination and Equal
Opportunity Laws, Orders, and Regulations relating to race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, age,
handicap, or status as disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam Era.

The Board of Trustees has approved a policy of endeavoring to eliminate the exclusive use of the male or female
gender in official communications. Accordingly this text has been edited to conform to that policy In a few
instances the generic references "he" or "him" have been retained where to do otherwise would result in clumsy
or awkward exposition. In such instances, the reader should understand the meaning to apply to either sex.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS STATUTES

The regulations of the Board of Trustees for the guidance of the staff of the University were called Bylaws
until 1901, when the term Statutes was applied. In 1908, the Board adopted a revision of the Statutes which was
much more comprehensive than anything that preceded it; from 1908 to 1931, separate articles were amended,
and new articles were added, but no general consideration was given to the regulations as a whole. During the
period of 1931 to 1934, the Board adopted certain statutes relating particularly to the educational and administrative
organization of the University. In 1935, the Board of Trustees appointed a committee of its members to consider
the Statutes, including various administrative regulations which had been adopted from time to time, as a whole,
and to present a revised code. This compilation was approved by the Board of Trustees on March 10, 1936, as
the "University of Illinois Statutes" and all previous editions were declared to be superseded.

On January 16, 1957, the Board of Trustees adopted a revised version of the Statutes, upon recommendation
of the University Senate and the President of the University Preliminary to this formal action a special committee
of the Board of Trustees worked with a committee of the University Senate in preparing the final draft.

Preliminary drafts of the present Statutes were prepared cooperatively by committees of the three Senates and
administrative officers. The final draft was adopted on May 1 7, 1 972, by the Board of Trustees upon recommendation
of the Senates, the University Senates Conference and the President of the University

These University Statutes were adopted to take effect May 17, 1972, and superseded all previous versions and
editions of all corresponding Statutes. This edition contains all amendments approved since May 17, 1972.

It should be noted, as stated in the Preamble, that these University Statutes are supplemented by The General
Rules Concerning University Organization and Pfocedure.

PREAMBLE

The University of Illinois, being a State University, is subject to the control of the Illinois General Assembly.
The General Assembly, subject to the limitations of the State Constitution and to such self-imposed restraints as
are essential to the maintenance of a free and distinguished University, exercises control by virtue of its authority
to change the laws pertaining to the University and its pow/er to appropriate funds for the maintenance and
improvement of the University Under existing state law the University of Illinois is a public corporation, the formal
corporate name of which is "The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois."

Within the limits fixed by the Illinois Constitution and laws, the Board of Trustees exercises final authority
over the University For the proper use of funds appropriated by the General Assembly and for the proper
administration and government of the University the Board is responsible to the people of Illinois, by whom its
members are elected. The Board is the governing body of the University and exercises jurisdiction in all matters
except those for which it has delegated authority to the President, other officers, or bodies of the University.

The educational policy organization, and governance of the University as delegated by the Board of Trustees
are promulgated in the University Statutes. When acting on such matters, the Board relies upon the advice of the
University Senates transmitted to it by the President of the University In these matters each Senate has a
legitimate concern which justifies its participation in the enactment and amendment of the University Statutes.
The Board of Trustees reserves the power to initiate and make changes in the University Statutes, but before
making any change it will seek the advice of the University Senates.

The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure supplement the University Statutes.
The Rules are subordinate to the Statutes and deal with administrative organization, with the powers, duties, and
responsibilities of officers of the University and with various administrative matters.

The Board of Trustees delegates to the President of the University the authority to promulgate regulations
and rules implementing Ttie General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure. These are printed
in the Business Policy and Procedure manual.

appointment year at two-thirds pay; after completion of three years, one-half appointment year at half pay or
one-fourth appointment year at full pay.

b. In recommending a leave with pay according to any of the options provided above, it shall be understood
by all recommending officers concerned that the department in which the applicant is teaching or working
undertakes, so far as is practicable, to carry on during the applicant's absence without increase in the departmental
budget, such part of his work as the interests of the department and of the University require to be continued
without interruption during the period of absence.

c. Service credit for leave of absence with pay is not cumulative, unless otherwise provided for in special
cases. Each person who has been on leave of absence shall, on the termination of the leave, make a report
through the usual official channels of communication to the Chancellor concerning the nature of the studies,
research, or other work undertaken by him during the period of absence.

d. A member of the faculty to whom any such leave of absence has been granted shall agree to return to
the University on the expiration of the leave and to remain in its service for at least one year thereafter; and the
University, on its part, shall agree to retain the faculty member in its service for the period of one year after his
return.

e. Leaves of absence granted in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions, with the privileges
pertaining thereto, are given to members of the faculty primarily for the purpose of enabling them to acquire
additional knowledge and competency in their respective fields. No one to whom a leave of absence with pay
has been granted shall be permitted while on such leave to accept remunerative employment or engage in
professional practice or work for which he receives pecuniary compensation. This prohibition, however, shall not

- 16

be construed to forbid a faculty member while on leave from giving a limited number of lectures or doing a limited
amount of work. But in such cases the approval of the Chancellor to the giving of the lectures or the doing of
other work shall be required. Nor shall the prohibition be interpreted to forbid the acceptance by a faculty member,
while on leave, of a scholarship or fellowship carrying a stipend for the purpose of study research, or scientific
investigation, or the acceptance of a grant of money made for such purposes, provided that the acceptance of
the grant does not impose on the recipient duties and obligations the performance of which would be incompatible
with the pursuit of the general purpose for which leaves of absence are granted.

f . The President shall establish regulations and procedures necessary for the administration of these provisions,
and is authorized to make appropriate adjustments in the terms of leave with pay to insure equitable benefits for
members of the faculty in exceptional cases where special consideration is warranted.

g. Leaves of absence without pay On the recommendation of the head or chair of a department, with the
concurrence of the dean of the college, or on the recommendation of the dean or director of an independent
campus unit, a member of the faculty may be granted a leave of absence without pay by the Chancellor for a
period of one year or less. Such a leave may be renewed in special circumstances ordinarily for not more than
one year Time spent on a leave of absence without pay does not ordinarily count toward the probationary period
of a faculty member on definite tenure, nor does it ordinarily count as service in establishing eligibility for a
sabbatical leave with pay, unless recommended and agreed upon in advance.

Section 7. GRADUATE WORK OF ACADEMIC STAFF MEMBERS

No person shall be admitted to candidacy for an advanced degree in a department or division of the University
who holds an appointment as professor, associate professor, or assistant professor in that department or division.
Likewise, no person while engaged in graduate study shall be appointed to the rank of assistant professor or
higher in the department or division of that graduate study

A person in or accepting the rank of assistant professor or higher on a campus of the University may continue
in or be admitted to advanced degree candidacy in a department or unit other than that of his or her appointment

of the Graduate College.

Section 8. PRIVILEGES OF RETIRED MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC STAFF

a. A retired staff member who is provided with research assistance shall, at the end of each academic year,
report to the Chancellor, in at least general terms, on the work accomplished during the year In no case may a
research assistant be provided to a retired staff member for a longer period than one year at a time, and such
assistant may be continued only if the annual report of work shows progress or promise.

b. With the approval of the department head or chair and of the Dean of the Graduate College and of the
Chancellor, a retired faculty member may offer conferences with graduate students in his line of work, if such
retiree had offered graduate courses before retirement.

c. Retired faculty members may participate in meetings of their college or school faculties but shall have no
vote.

Section 9. DISMISSAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

a. In the exercise of its authority to dismiss or request the resignation of administrative officers from their
administrative positions, the Board of Trustees may take such action in respect to such officer, prior to the
expiration of the term for which the individual was appointed, only after presentation by the Board to the officer
affected of a statement of the reasons, accompanied by the facts in support thereof, upon which the proposed
action is based, together with notice, served by registered mail, of the time and place of the hearing thereon
which shall be not less than 30 days after the date of notice. A copy of the statement and notice shall be sent
by registered mail to each member of the Board of Trustees at least 30 days prior to the hearing.

b. The officer shall have the right to appear at the hearing, with counsel if he desires, to comment on the
reasons and to present evidence in his behalf. The Board shall not be bound by formal or technical rules of
evidence and its decision shall be final.

c. In designating the effective date of dismissal or requested resignation, the Board shall give due consideration
to the time reasonably required for the adjustment of the officer's personal affairs.

If such notice is given later than specified in an appointment year, it shall be accompanied by an offer from
the Board of Trustees of a terminal contract for an additional appointment which will extend the current appointment
through the period of minimum notice, viz., 2 months, 6 months or 7-12 months.

d. Computation of length of service will be on the basis of continuous employment in campus academic

ARTICLE X. ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND TENURE

Section 1. TENURE OF ACADEMIC STAFF

a. Except under unusual circumstances evidenced by a special written agreement approved by the President
of the University and the appointee, the tenure for the academic ranks of professor, associate professor, assistant
professor, and instructor shall be as provided in this section. The parts of Article X, Sections la and lb, hereof
relating to the probationary period and indefinite tenure do not apply to academic ranks other than those mentioned
in the preceding sentence; nor to appointments at any rank which involve no salary or obligation to render
services; nor to appointments for fifty percent (50%) or less of full-time service at ranks other than professor or
associate professor; nor to appointments for less than seventy-five percent (75%) of full-time service during any
period when the appointee is a candidate for a degree at this University

18 -

In the case of academic-staff positions authorized in Article IX, Sections 3c and 4a, other than the ranks of
professor, associate professor, assistant professor, and instructor, appointments shall be for not longer than one
year and shall be renewable.

(1) An appointment as professor or associate professor shall be for an indefinite term, except that first
appointments or temporary appointments may be made for shorter periods. An appointment at either of these
ranks for fifty percent (50%) or less of full-time service shall be for an indefinite term at the specified percentage,
except that such first appointments or temporary appointments may be for definite terms.

(2) During the probationary period defined in Article X, Section 1 b(1 ), an appointment as assistant professor
shall be for not more than two years, and an appointment as instructor shall be for not more than one year Such
an appointment which begins after or extends beyond the expiration of the probationary period shall, subject to
the exceptions stated in Article X, Sections 1a(3) and 1b(5), be for an indefinite term and the contract shall so
state. If, because of inadvertence or otherwise, a contract for such appointment does not state that it is for an
indefinite term, the provisions of Article X, Section 1 b(5), shall apply

(3) An appointment for an indefinite term may require full-time service, or some percentage of full-time
service, by the appointee, but an appointment at the rank of assistant professor or instructor may be for an
indefinite term only if it requires more than fifty percent (50%) of full-time service. Completion of a probationary
period shall entitle the appointee to indefinite tenure status at the lowest percentage (more than 50%) of full-time
service counted toward completion of the probationary period. An appointee for an indefinite term and the Board
of Trustees may at any time agree in writing to increase or to decrease the percentage of full-time service to be
required of the appointee and the indefinite tenure status shall then apply to the new percentage of full-time
service. An agreement that a full-time appointee for an indefinite term shall thereafter serve on a part-time basis
shall specify either (a) that the appointment for an indefinite term will thereafter relate solely to service on the
agreed part-time basis; or (b) that the appointee will return to full-time service for an indefinite term on a specified
date.

These agreements are subject to modification by written consent of the appointee and the Board of Trustees.
An appointee who has previously been on indefinite tenure status at this University shall not be required to serve
a probationary period in order to regain that status.

This sub-paragraph, 1a(3), does not apply to sabbatical leaves of absence or to leaves of absence without
pay.

(4) An appointment with the rank of clinical assistant, research assistant, or teaching assistant shall be for
not longer than one year, and notice of non-reappointment is not required. Appointments at these ranks may be
conditional upon the availability of funds if so specified in the notice of appointment.

(5) Appointments which include in the title the terms "adjunct," "clinical," or "visiting," as authorized in the
first paragraph of Article IX, Section 3c, shall be for not longer than one year. Notice of non-reappointment is not
required in such cases. An appointment with the rank of "lecturer" likewise shall be considered a temporary
appointment for not longer than one year, and notice of non-reappointment is not required.

(6) An appointment with the rank of teaching associate, research associate, or clinical associate shall be for
not longer than one year. In the case of non-salaried appointees and all appointments at these ranks conditional
upon the receipt of non-appropriated funds, if so specified in the notice of appointment, notice of non-reappointment
is not required. Otherwise, written notice of non-reappointment of full-time employees at these ranks is required.
The notice need not be accompanied by an offer of a terminal contract if the notice is given not later than six
months before the end of an annual appointment or by March 1 in the case of an academic-year appointment; if
notice of non-reappointment in such cases is given later than six months before the end of an annual appointment
or after March 1 in the case of an academic-year appointment, it shall be accompanied by an offer from the
Board of Trustees of a terminal contract for one additional year of service.

(7) The tenure of other special classes of academic staff members authorized under Article IX, Sections 3c
and 4a, shall be governed by the conditions prescribed in the preceding sub-paragraph, 1a(6).

b. Upon the completion of a probationary period as hereafter defined, any reappointment of an assistant
professor or an instructor shall be for an indefinite term, subject to the following:

(1) An appointee receiving a first contract for more than fifty percent (50%) of full-time service at this
University as assistant professor or instructor enters a probationary period not to exceed seven academic years
of service. Prior academic service at other academic (or equivalent) institutions may be counted up to a maximum
of three years toward the fulfillment of the probationary period. The amount of any such service counted may be
negotiated as may other terms of the appointment and shall be stated in the first appointment contract, as

- 19 -

provided for all contracts for definite terms in sub-paragraph 1 b(5) below. An initial appointment for a period of
less than a full academic year ordinarily does not count toward the probationary period of a faculty member on
definite tenure nor does it ordinarily count as service in establishing eligibility for a sabbatical leave with pay
unless recommended and agreed upon in advance.

(2) No appointment at the rank of assistant professor or instructor shall be for an indefinite term unless the
appointment contract specifically states that it is for an indefinite term.

(3) An appointee for a definite term shall be given, no later than August 31 at the Chicago campus and
August 20 at the Urbana-Champaign campus in the sixth year of the probationary period, either written notice
offering appointment for an indefinite term, or written notice of non-reappointment.

(4) At any time except during the last year of the probationary period, an instructor or assistant professor
on a definite-term appointment may be given written notice of non-reappointment. Except in the case of an
instructor or assistant professor who is in the first year of academic service at this University (a) written notice
of nonreappointment shall be given not less than twelve months before the expiration of the appointment; or (b)
written notice of nonreappointment, if given less than twelve months before the expiration of the appointment,
shall be accompanied by an offer from the Board of Trustees of a terminal contract for one additional year of
academic service. In the case of an instructor or assistant professor on a definite-term appointment who is in the
first year of academic service at this University written notice of non-reappointment shall be given not later than
March 1 , and need not be accompanied by an offer of a terminal contract; if written notice of non-reappointment
is given after March 1 , it shall be accompanied by an offer from the Board of Trustees of a terminal contract for
one additional year of service.

(5) The total amount of service counted toward completion of the probationary period, including both service
at other institutions and prior service at this University, shall be stated in every contract for academic service for
a definite term. In the event that an appointee for a definite term is not given notice of appointment for an
indefinite term or notice of non-reappointment as required by sub-paragraph 1b(3) above, but instead is given
notice of reappointment for a definite term beginning after or extending beyond the expiration of the probationary
period, such reappointment shall be for a term extending to the end of the academic year following the academic
year in which either (a) the Board of Trustees gives the appointee written notice of non-reappointment as specified
above in sub-paragraph 1 b(4), or (b) the appointee gives written notice to the dean or department head that he
or she is about to complete, or has completed the probationary period, and either is or will be entitled to have
any reappointment be for an indefinite term.

(6) An appointment for a definite term does not carry any guarantee or implication that the Board of Trustees
will renew the appointment even though the duties of the appointee may have been discharged satisfactorily An
appointment for a definite term, if accepted, must be accepted with this stipulation.

c. Tenure may be terminated by (1) honorable retirement; (2) acceptance of resignation; (3) dismissal for due
cause.

d. Due cause for dismissal shall be deemed to exist only if (1) a faculty member has been grossly neglectful
of or grossly inefficient in the performance of his University duties and functions; or (2) with all due regard for
the freedoms and protections provided for in Article X, Section 2, of these Statutes, a faculty member's performance
of his University duties and functions or his extramural conduct is found to demonstrate clearly and convincingly
that he can no longer be relied upon to perform his University duties and functions in a manner consonant with
professional standards of competence and responsibility; or (3) a faculty member has, during his employment by
the University, illegally advocated overthrow of our constitutional form of government by force or violence.

e. Proceedings seeking the dismissal before the expiration of his term of appointment of an appointee to
the academic staff who is on definite tenure or of an appointee to the academic staff who is on Indefinite tenure
shall comply with the procedures described in the following provisions of this section:

(1) Charges. When It shall appear to the President that cause for the dismissal of an appointee may exist,
he shall consult with the Faculty Advisory Committee. The President, after such consultation, shall determine
whether dismissal proceedings should be instituted. Charges looking to dismissal shall be preferred by statement
in writing by the President or on his authority and shall be filed with the Clerk or Secretary of the Senate within
thirty days after the consultation with the Faculty Advisory Committee. The statement shall be sufficiently specific
reasonably to inform the appointee of the nature of the charges and enable him to present his defense to them.

(2) Service. The Clerk or Secretary of the Senate shall cause a copy of the statement of the charges and a
copy of Article X, Sections 1 and 2, of the Statutes to be delivered to the appointee personally or mailed to him

- 20 -

at his last known post office address by registered mail within five days after they have been filed with the Clerk
or Secretary of the Senate.

(3) Request for Hearing. Within fifteen days after such service of a copy of the statement of charges, the
appointee may file with the Clerk or Secretary of the Senate a request for a hearing before the Committee on
Academic Freedom and Tenure of the appropriate campus; and within ten days after filing such request the
appointee shall file with the Clerk or Secretary of the Senate a detailed written answer to the statement of
grounds for dismissal. The Clerk or Secretary of the Senate shall promptly transmit the statement of charges,
the answer thereto, and the request for a hearing to the chair of the Committee on Academic Freedom and
Tenure, and copies of the answer and request for a hearing to the President.

(4) Notice of Hearing. Notice of the time and place of the hearing before the Committee on Academic
Freedom and Tenure, which hearing shall be not less than twenty days after the filing of the appointee's request,
shall be delivered on the same date to the appointee and the President, either personally or by registered mail.
The date of the hearing shall be not less than fifteen days from the date of such delivery or of such mailing of
the notice of hearing.

(5) Hearing. At the time and place fixed, the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure shall hold a closed
heahng on the charges. No member of that Committee shall sit in a case that involves a member of his department,
school, institute, or division, whichever represents the smallest administrative unit nor shall a member sit in a
case if he has previously acted on another committee while it considered the pending matter A majority of the
members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of the hearing, and the chair of the
Committee may appoint another member of the Committee to preside over the hearing. If vacancies occur, as
many members as are necessary to constitute a quorum shall be appointed in accordance with the bylaws of the
appropriate Senate. Except as hereinbefore or hereinafter provided, the hearing shall be conducted according to
such rules as the Committee may from time to time establish. The Committee shall not be bound by technical
rules of evidence, but all findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Committee shall be supported by,
and be in accord with, substantial evidence. The appointee shall be entitled to be present at all sessions of the
Committee when evidence is being received and to have with him an adviser of his own choice who may act as
counsel. Likewise, the President or some person designated by him, together with counsel if the President desires
counsel, shall be entitled to be present at all sessions of the Committee when evidence is being received. Each
party shall have the right within reasonable limits to question witnesses and, when all the evidence has been
received, to make an argument in support of its position, either in person or by counsel. A full stenographic
transcript shall be made of the hearing unless both parties agree to the making of a record in a briefer form.

(6) Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations. Following the conclusion of the hearing, the Committee
shall promptly make its explicit findings of fact on each charge, its conclusions, and its recommendations.
Reasonable opportunity shall be given to each party to file a written statement setting forth objections to these
findings, conclusions, and recommendations and setting forth the grounds for such objections. A copy of one
party's objections shall be given to the other party The originals of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations,
and of the hearing transcript shall be forwarded by the Committee to the President, and copies shall be promptly
transmitted by the Committee to the appointee.

If ultimately the appointee requests a hearing before the Board of Trustees, the originals or copies of
statement of charges filed by the President or on his authority with the Clerk or Secretary of the Senate, the
request for a hearing, the answer to the statement of charges, the notice of the time and place of hearing, the
transcript or bhefer record of the hearing, any exhibits received in evidence, the findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of the Committee, and any objections to such findings, conclusions, and recommendations,
shall constitute the record before the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure to be submitted to the Board.
The record shall be available to the Board of Trustees, to counsel for the appointee, and to counsel for the
University, but shall not be available to other persons prior to the hearing before the Board. If the Committee
recommends that charges be dropped and the President concurs, the case shall be considered closed.

(7) Hearing by Board of Trustees. Within thirty days after transmittal of the findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, or, if the appointee filed no request for
a hearing before that Committee, within fifteen days after the expiration of the period specified in sub-paragraph
1e(3) for the filing of such a request, the President may cause the charges to be filed with the Secretary of the
Board of Trustees along with the findings, conclusions, and recommendations, if any of the Committee on
Academic Freedom and Tenure and the record of the hearing before the Committee, if one was held. Notice of
such filing of charges shall be delivered to the appointee personally or shall be mailed to him by the Secretary of

- 21 -

the Board of Trustees by registered mail within five days after such filing. Within ten days after such delivery or
mailing of notice of the filing of the charges w/ith the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, the appointee may file
with the Secretary of the Board a written request for a hearing before the Board of Trustees. Notice of the time
and place of the hearing, which hearing shall be not less than twenty days after the date of the filing of the
appointee's request, shall be delivered to the appointee personally or mailed to him by registered mail. The date
of the hearing shall be not less than fifteen days from the date of such delivery or mailing of the notice of hearing
to the appointee. The appointee shall have the right to appear at the hearing, with counsel, if he desires, to reply
to the charges and to present evidence in his behalf. Counsel for the University shall represent the University
administration at the hearing and shall have the right to present evidence in support of the charges. The Board
shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence in hearing and deciding the case.

The Board will give due consideration to the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Committee
on Academic Freedom and Tenure, and the remainder of the record relevant to the charges before said Committee,
and in all cases where a report was made by the Committee will invite a member of the Committee designated
by its chair to attend the hearing before the Board and afford him an opportunity to make a statement.

If the Board concludes that the appointee should be dismissed or asked to resign, the effective date of such
dismissal or resignation shall not be less than one year from the date of the Board's decision unless the Board,
in its discretion, determines that an earlier effective date is justified by the gravity of the appointee's conduct in
question.

(8) Reassignment of Duties. Under exceptional circumstances, and when such action is clearly necessary
and justified, the President may direct that a faculty member be relieved of some or all of his University duties
and functions and reassigned to others, without prejudice and without loss of compensation, pending the final
decision of his case, subject to the following provisions: (a) the President may reassign duties before the filing of
any charges only after giving notice to the chair or, in the absence of the chair from the University, to some
member of the Faculty Advisory Committee, that he believes that cause for dismissal may exist; (b) if the President
reassigns duties after so giving notice to the chair or some member of the Faculty Advisory Committee, such
reassignment shall terminate within thirty days after that Committee has made its recommendations to the
President unless the President initiates dismissal proceedings by the filing of charges for dismissal within that
thirty-day period; and (c) if the President initiates dismissal proceedings by filing charges for dismissal, he may
reassign duties, or extend a previous reassignment of duties until the termination of those proceedings, or until
the effective day of dismissal if the proceedings should result in dismissal.

(9) Publicity So far as possible public statements about a case under consideration should be avoided until
completion of the proceedings.

Section 2. ACADEMIC FREEDOM

a. It is the policy of the University to maintain and encourage full freedom, within the law, of inquiry, discourse,
teaching, research, and publication and to protect any member of the academic staff against influences, from
within or without the University, which would restrict him in the exercise of these freedoms in his area of scholarly
interest. The right to the protection of the University shall not, however, include any right to the services of the
University Counsel or his assistants in any governmental or judicial proceedings in which the academic freedom
of the staff member may be in issue.

b. In his role as a citizen, the faculty member may exercise the same freedoms as other citizens, without
institutional censorship or discipline. He should be mindful, however, that accuracy, forthrightness, and dignity
befit his association with the University and his position as a man of learning, and that the public may judge his
profession and the University by his conduct and utterances.

c. If, in the President's judgment, a faculty member should fail to heed the admonitions of Article X, Section
2b, on an occasion when he is exercising his freedom of expression as a citizen, the President may publicly
disassociate the Board of Trustees and the University administration from, and express their disapproval of, such
objectionable expressions.

d. A staff member who believes that he does not enjoy the academic freedom which it is the policy of the
University to maintain and encourage, shall be entitled to a hearing, on his written request, before the Committee
on Academic Freedom and Tenure of the appropriate University Senate. Such hearing shall be conducted in
accordance with established rules of procedure. The Committee shall make findings of facts and recommendations

- 22 -

to the President and at its discretion may make an appropriate report to the Senate. The several committees
may from time to time establish their own rules of procedure.

ARTICLE XI. STUDENT AFFAIRS AND DISCIPLINE

Section 1. STUDENT AFFAIRS

a. The Senates shall be responsible for the development of appropriate recommendations regarding policies
on student affairs at their respective campuses. Each Senate shall ensure the opportunity for substantial student
involvement in the development of these recommendations.

b. Upon recommendation of the Chancellor and the President, the Board of Trustees may appoint annually
a vice-chancellor or other officer who shall have general supervision over extracurricular activities of students at
that campus. The responsibility and authority of this officer shall be determined by the campus Chancellor On
the occasion of each appointment of any such officer, the Chancellor shall seek the advice of the Executive
Committee of the campus Senate. The Executive Committee shall ensure the opportunity for substantial student
involvement in the development of its advice.

c. Under the general supervision of the officer provided for in sub-section 1 b above, the Graduate College,
the College of Law, and the College of Veterinary Medicine shall be responsible respectively for the supervision
of student affairs, excluding discipline, in those colleges.

Section 2. STUDENT DISCIPLINE

a. Each Senate shall establish a committee or other body concerned with student discipline. This body may
appoint one or more subcommittees on which, unless the Senate determines otherwise, there shall be voting
student representatives. These subcommittees shall have original jurisdiction to hear and render decisions in all
disciplinary cases, unless the body determines to exercise original jurisdiction. The decision of a subcommittee
not appealed to the body shall be final. The body shall hear and take action for the Senate in cases in which it
exercises original jurisdiction and in cases appealed to it from its subcommittees. The body shall formulate and
adopt, after consultation with the Legal Counsel, disciplinary and hearing procedures, which shall be followed in
all undergraduate student disciplinary proceedings. In hearing and deciding any appeal this body may conduct a
hearing de novo, or may act solely upon the record in the case before the subcommittee, as the body in its
discretion, may determine.

b. Discipline for students enrolled in graduate and graduate-professional colleges shall be administered by
this body which, after consulting the Dean of the College concerned, shall appoint a subcommittee on discipline
for the students enrolled in that college. These subcommittees are to act in accordance with the provisions of
Article XI, Section 2a.

c. In disciplinary proceedings stemming from group infractions involving more than one category of student
(undergraduate, graduate, professional), the heahng and review bodies as well as the procedures employed shall
be common to all categories of students involved.

ARTICLE XII. RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION

Section 1. SPONSORED RESEARCH, GIFTS, AND GRANTS

a. It is the policy of the University to encourage research on the part of all persons and groups within the
several faculties. Such encouragement includes the endorsement and support of acceptable proposals for outside
contracts or grants.

b. Such outside support must be integrated with the regular educational and research functions of the
University The acceptance of contracts or grants involves substantial indirect costs, Physical Plant operating
costs, and the use of departmental, college, and general University facilities. Funds to meet these indirect costs
must be provided either by the sponsors or by tax funds. In the latter case, because such activities come into

- 23 -

direct competition for funds with other interests within the University, careful consideration shall be given the
acceptance of such contracts.

Section 2. PATENTS ON INVENTIONS

The results of research or development carried on at the University by any of its faculty employees, students,
or other users of its facilities and having the expenses thereof paid from University funds or from funds under
the control of the University, belong to the University and are to be used and controlled in ways to produce the
greatest benefit to the University and to the public.

An inventor whose discovery or invention is subject to the conditions of the previous paragraph is required
to disclose the discovery or invention to the University and may be required to patent the discovery or invention,
and to assign the patent to the University the expenses connected therewith to be borne by the University

of their regular duties, and without the use of University funds or funds under the control of the University and
without the use of University facilities.

works specifically commissioned by the University in writing and works prepared under terms of a University
grant or contract which provides otherwise.

Section 4. RULES ABOUT RESEARCH, PATENTS, AND PUBLICATIONS

The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure shall contain rules and regulations
governing patents, copyrightable works, recordings, sponsored periodicals, and the acceptance of contracts, gifts,
and grants for research, and the procedures to be followed.

Proposed changes in these General Rules related to patents, copyrightable works, or recordings shall be
sent to the University Senates Conference which shall move as expeditiously as practicable and, if necessary,
reconcile the views of the Senates and advise the President and, through the President, the Board of Trustees
before such a rule change is adopted.

ARTICLE XIM. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 1. EXCHANGE PROFESSORS

On the recommendation of the head or the chair of a department and with the approval of the dean, the
Chancellor, the President, and the Board of Trustees, a professor, associate professor, or assistant professor
may be permitted, for a period of not more than one year, to exchange his or her position with a professor of
approximately equal rank in another university, provided the arrangement does not involve substantial increase in
the cost of instruction. The professor with whom the exchange is made shall, during his or her period of service
in this University, be subject to the rules governing appointments and conditions of service applicable to regular
members of the faculty

Section 2. PRIVILEGES FOR SCHOLARS FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES

The Chancellors of the University may extend the privilege of working, without charge, in the various
laboratories or libraries of the University to members of the faculties of other colleges or universities, provided
that they are recognized as authorities in their respective fields and come to the University with written credentials
from the faculties of their institutions, or from their governments, asking that they be received as guests.

- 24 -

Section 3. ANNUAL REPORTS

On or before the first day of September in each year, each dean and director, and the chief executive officer
of each department or equivalent unit on each campus, shall make to the Chancellor an annual report, treating
fully the work of the college, school, institute, division, or department. Any of these officers may make reports
or advance suggestions at any time and shall report to the Chancellor and to the President whenever requested
to do so. Officers of the Central Administration of the University and Chancellors shall make such reports as the
President shall require.

Section 4. TRANSMISSION OF REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS

a. Any member of the faculty shall report, on request, to his or her superior officers. All communications,
whether made pursuant to request or voluntarily offered, shall be transmitted, unless otherwise specifically
directed, through and by all intermediary officers, to the end that they may have knowledge thereof and an
opportunity to comment thereon.

b. All communications from members of the staff to be presented to the Board of Trustees for action shall
first be presented to the Chancellor, where appropriate, and to the President, in accordance with paragraph 4a
above, for their examination and recommendation, and for such suggestions as they may deem proper.

Section 5. RULES OF PROCEDURE

Unless otherwise specified by a deliberative body of the University the latest revision of Roberts Rules of
Order shall govern.

Section 6. RECOMMENDATIONS OF COMMITTEES AND COUNCILS

Whenever these Statutes provide for the advice or recommendations of a committee or council as a basis
for, or aid to, officer or agency decision, the advice or recommendation shall be secured only through a meeting
of the committee or council duly convened in group session.

Section 7. RESERVATION OF POWERS

The Board of Trustees is charged by law with full responsibility for administering the University Although the
Board may properly delegate authority to its duly designated officers and agencies, as indeed it has done since
the establishment of the University in practical recognition of its own limitations to determine and resolve, in the
first instance, complex and continuing problems of internal organization and educational policy it cannot divest
itself of the ultimate responsibility imposed upon it by law, of governance of the University Accordingly the Board
expressly reserves to itself the power to act on its own initiative in all matters affecting the University notwithstanding
that such action may be in conflict or may not be in conformance with the provisions of these Statutes. However,
the Board will not so act upon its own initiative in any case in which Senate participation and recommendation
is provided for by these Statutes until it has first sought the advice and recommendation of the appropriate
Senate, or Senates, and the President.

Section 8. AMENDMENTS

a. Initiation by a Senate. Each of the Senates by vote of a majority of all members present and voting at a
regular or special meeting may propose amendments to these Statutes. No final Senate action shall be taken on
a proposed amendment until the next meeting following the one at which it was introduced. The Secretary of a
Senate shall notify the Secretary of the other Senate and the Secretary of the University Senates Conference of
the text of a proposed amendment promptly after the meeting at which it is introduced. The proposed amendment
shall be referred to the University Senates Conference for its consideration and transmission to the other Senates
for action; the Conference may append its comments and recommendations.

The proposed amendment shall be placed promptly on the agenda of the other Senate. If the Senate acts
affirmatively on the proposed amendment and concurs as to its text, the Conference shall send the proposed
amendment to the President for transmission to the Board of Trustees; the Conference may append its comments.
If the Senates do not agree as to the proposed amendment, the Conference shall endeavor to promote agreement

- 25 -

of the Senates; where agreement cannot be effected within a reasonable period of time, the Conference shall
send the proposals of the Senates and Its own recommendations to the President for transmission to the Board
of Trustees, and shall simultaneously notify the Senates of its action; any Senate may record and send its further
comments to the President for transmission to the Board of Trustees.

b. Initiation by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees may initiate proposals to amend the Statutes
but the Board shall not finally adopt any such proposal without first seeking the advice of the President, the
Senates, and the University Senates Conference. Any proposal to amend the Statutes which is initiated by the
Board of Trustees shall be transmitted through the President to the University Senates Conference and transmitted
by the Conference with its recommendations to the Senates for consideration and advice. The proposed
amendment shall be placed promptly on the agenda of each of the Senates. If the Senates do not agree in their
advice concerning the proposed amendment, the Conference shall endeavor to promote agreement; where
agreement cannot be achieved within a reasonable period of time the Conference shall send the advice of the
Senates and its own recommendations to the President for transmission to the Board of Trustees and shall
simultaneously notify the Senates of its action; any Senate may record and send its further comments to the
President for transmission to the Board of Trustees.

c. An amendment shall become effective when approved by the Board of Trustees or at such later time as
the Board may specify.
